You bloaks are PAYING for hotel rooms? I need one too. Maybe we can pirate the Ramada. If that doesn't work, as a fallback, how much of a disadvantage trafficwise and crap like that, would it be to stay at a place three or four miles out?

If ye can stay fer free with friends or relations in the area, or ye can find ye cheaper lodgin's four knots inland, 'n' ye have some knowledge o' navigatin' the area (or at least can read an infernal chart), bunk where ye can do so 'n' saves yer booty...that be Morgan's wisdom on the matter. :)

The results from which we wuz rammed in our hind quarters by a SUV while in the middle lane of the highway traveling at 55 mph on a Saturday afternoon. Twas worse on the passenger side than the drivers. I have Physical Therepy to go to for a couple o' weeks. Seems our trips this year will be day ones......

Ahoy, fellow scallywags! I have not had a chance to post on this forum for a while. However, I must say that I attended the Blackbeard Festival last year and had the time of me life! In fact, I had such a great time I hauled off and officially joined the crew of the Kalmar Nyckel, which I first cast me eyes on at last year's festivities! Aye, it was love at first sight, I tell ye!!

Of course, I will be at the Pirate Ball on Friday night. (Frankly, I am not sure if that is a "pirate ball" or a "pirate brawl," although with our crowd, they are the same thing!!) Also, you can look for me on the ship---I will be helping out with tours on Saturday and Sunday. Just ask for Cutthroat Kate.

Is a group planning to meet at a certain time at Hampton? It would be great if we all could meet to raise a pint :D at the ball or sometime during the festival.

Smooth sailing til then! Aye, mates. :D

Ahoy Mates,

Cap'n Pern 'ere,

I am sailing into port this afternoon, on the "Freedom Row" with Mr. Steele. We will be starting the setup of the pirate encampment at 0600 on Friday Morning in between scattered Showers.

You will see the members o' Blackbeard's Crew on the Stage at the Pirates Ball, Just let us know yer from Pyracy.com and we'll get together ta raise our flagons!! The rest of the weekend we will be running around doing sea battles and other skits. The period dinner on Saturday night may also be a good time to raise another pint.

See ya there!!!

:D question for those who have been there before me - what can newbies do to volunteer for this event. There is some information on the website - just not enough. Will there be someone in charge to speak to this for the 06 event?

;)

if it burns blue, drink it

Well the festival wa a smashing success again this year. Hats off to the Blackbeard Crew for hosting the event, and allowing some of us "visiting pirates" to join in the fun. It was great to see some of the PP people there, in particular Stinky Tudor (and family) and Indigo Jack and Jim. I will have the pictures I took during the weekend posted shortly, and will provide a link.

Twas the most fun I've had in 30 years. Me first er' pirate event I arrived with little idea what to expect. The welcome of the pirates in camp was great - even fer us tourists. Wish I could claim to be a pirate - maybe next year. By the end of the weekend I at least looked like a pirate.

Thanks to all there -

Has anyone seen my bottle of rum??? ;)
